Pedestal movement
The wheels on the studio version of the skid can be locked in the straight-ahead position or set to
castor freely. The castor/lock changeover is effected by spring-loaded track lock pins (8) on each
wheel assembly. The pins on the folding legs have black knobs and the pin on the fixed leg has a
red knob. To engage or disengage a pin, pull it up against the spring and turn through 90°. The
pin will only engage with the wheel when the wheel is properly aligned. This arrangement provides
castor, track and steer motion.
Castor motion
For castor motion, disengage all three track locks. The skid can now be moved freely in any di-
rection.
Tracking motion
For tracking motion, engage all three track locks. The skid can now track backwards and forwards
in a straight line.
Steer motion
For steer motion:
Position the skid so that the fixed leg (with the red knob) is in the direction of travel. Disen-
gage the red track lock.
Engage the black track locks.
With the fixed leg of the skid facing forwards the skid can now be moved with a ‘steering-
type’ motion.
Transportation and storage
The column and skid may be separated to facilitate transport or storage.
To separate the column and skid:
Lower the top stage (4) and engage the safety catch (3).
WARNING! To ensure maximum stability, particularly when moving over
uneven ground, reduce pedestal height to a minimum.
WARNING! Local, national or international regulations may apply to the
transport and storage of pressurized pedestals.
NOTE: It is not necessary to reduce the pedestal pressure prior to transportation or
storage. To avoid the possibility of dust or abrasive particles collecting on
moving components, set the column to minimum height.
